MediumMCQ
When $100 \ mL$ of $1 \ M \ NaOH$ solution and $10 \ mL$ of $10 \ N \ H_2SO_4$ solution are mixed together,the resulting solution will be
A
Alkaline
B
Acidic
C
Strongly acidic
D
Neutral

Solution

(D) For $NaOH$,the normality $N_1 = \text{Molarity} \times n\text{-factor} = 1 \ M \times 1 = 1 \ N$.
Number of equivalents of $NaOH = N_1 \times V_1 = 1 \ N \times 100 \ mL = 100 \ mL(N)$.
For $H_2SO_4$,the normality $N_2 = 10 \ N$.
Number of equivalents of $H_2SO_4 = N_2 \times V_2 = 10 \ N \times 10 \ mL = 100 \ mL(N)$.
Since the number of equivalents of acid and base are equal $(100 = 100)$,the resulting solution will be neutral.

$I.$ $1$ molecule of oxygen
$II.$ $1$ atom of nitrogen
$III.$ $1 \times 10^{-10} \ g$ molecular weight of oxygen
$IV.$ $1 \times 10^{-10} \ g$ atomic weight of copper
A
$II < I < III < IV$
B
$IV < III < II < I$
C
$II < III < I < IV$
D
$III < IV < I < II$

Solution

(A) $(I)$ Mass of $1$ molecule of $O_2 = \frac{32}{6.022 \times 10^{23}} \approx 5.31 \times 10^{-23} \ g$
$(II)$ Mass of $1$ atom of $N = \frac{14}{6.022 \times 10^{23}} \approx 2.32 \times 10^{-23} \ g$
$(III)$ $1 \times 10^{-10} \ g$ molecular weight of $O_2 = 1 \times 10^{-10} \times 32 = 3.2 \times 10^{-9} \ g$
$(IV)$ $1 \times 10^{-10} \ g$ atomic weight of $Cu = 1 \times 10^{-10} \times 63 = 6.3 \times 10^{-9} \ g$
Comparing the values: $2.32 \times 10^{-23} < 5.31 \times 10^{-23} < 3.2 \times 10^{-9} < 6.3 \times 10^{-9}$.
Therefore,the order is $II < I < III < IV$.

MediumMCQ
What volume of $NH_3$ gas at $STP$ would be needed to prepare $100 \ mL$ of $2.5$ molal $(2.5 \ m)$ ammonium hydroxide solution? (Assume the density of the solution is $1 \ g/mL$)
A
$0.056$
B
$0.56$
C
$5.6$
D
$11.2$

Solution

(C) $1$. $2.5 \ m$ $NH_4OH$ means $2.5 \ moles$ of $NH_3$ are dissolved in $1000 \ g$ of solvent $(H_2O)$.
$2$. Assuming the density of the solution is approximately $1 \ g/mL$,the mass of $1000 \ mL$ of solution is $1000 \ g$.
$3$. Since $1000 \ g$ of solution contains $2.5 \ moles$ of $NH_3$,then $100 \ mL$ of solution will contain $0.25 \ moles$ of $NH_3$.
$4$. At $STP$,$1 \ mole$ of any gas occupies $22.4 \ L$.
$5$. Therefore,the volume of $NH_3$ required is $0.25 \ mol \times 22.4 \ L/mol = 5.6 \ L$.

MediumMCQ
Which of the following has the least mass?
A
$2 \ g$ atom of nitrogen
B
$3 \times 10^{23}$ atoms of $C$
C
$1$ mole of $S$
D
$7.0 \ g$ of $Ag$

Solution

(B) $2 \ g$ atom of nitrogen $= 2 \times 14 \ g = 28 \ g$
$(b)$ $6.022 \times 10^{23}$ atoms of $C$ has mass $= 12 \ g$.
So,$3 \times 10^{23}$ atoms of $C$ has mass $= \frac{12 \times 3 \times 10^{23}}{6.022 \times 10^{23}} \approx 6 \ g$.
$(c)$ $1$ mole of $S$ has mass $= 32 \ g$.
$(d)$ $7.0 \ g$ of $Ag$.
Comparing the masses: $28 \ g, 6 \ g, 32 \ g, 7 \ g$.
The least mass is $6 \ g$ (corresponding to option $B$).

MediumMCQ
Nitrogen atom has an atomic number of $7$ and oxygen has an atomic number of $8$. The total number of electrons in a nitrate ion $(NO_3^-)$ will be:
A
$8$
B
$16$
C
$32$
D
$64$

Solution

(C) The chemical formula of the nitrate ion is $NO_3^-$.
Number of electrons in one nitrogen atom $= 7$.
Number of electrons in one oxygen atom $= 8$.
For the $NO_3^-$ ion,the total number of electrons is calculated as:
Total electrons $= (1 \times \text{electrons in } N) + (3 \times \text{electrons in } O) + 1 \text{ (for the negative charge)}$.
Total electrons $= (1 \times 7) + (3 \times 8) + 1 = 7 + 24 + 1 = 32$.

EasyMCQ
When a jar containing a gaseous mixture of equal volumes of $CO_2$ and $H_2$ is placed in a solution of sodium hydroxide,the solution level will:
A
Rise
B
Fall
C
Remain constant
D
Become zero

Solution

(A) The correct answer is $A$. The solution level will rise.
Sodium hydroxide $(NaOH)$ is a strong base that reacts with acidic gases like $CO_2$ to form sodium carbonate $(Na_2CO_3)$ and water $(H_2O)$.
The chemical reaction is: $2NaOH + CO_2 \to Na_2CO_3 + H_2O$.
Since $H_2$ is not absorbed by $NaOH$,the partial pressure of $CO_2$ inside the jar decreases,creating a partial vacuum that causes the solution level to rise.

MediumMCQ
The ratio of $C_p$ and $C_v$ of a gas '$X$' is $1.4$. The number of atoms of the gas '$X$' present in $11.2 \ L$ of it at $N.T.P.$ is
A
$6.02 \times 10^{23}$
B
$1.2 \times 10^{24}$
C
$3.01 \times 10^{23}$
D
$2.01 \times 10^{23}$

Solution

(A) Given that the ratio $\frac{C_p}{C_v} = 1.4$,the gas '$X$' is diatomic.
At $N.T.P.$,the volume of $1 \text{ mole}$ of any ideal gas is $22.4 \ L$.
Number of moles of gas '$X$' in $11.2 \ L$ = $\frac{11.2 \ L}{22.4 \ L/mol} = 0.5 \ mol$.
Number of molecules = $\text{moles} \times N_A = 0.5 \times 6.022 \times 10^{23} = 3.011 \times 10^{23}$.
Since the gas is diatomic,each molecule contains $2$ atoms.
Number of atoms = $2 \times (3.011 \times 10^{23}) = 6.022 \times 10^{23}$.

EasyMCQ
$A$ gas has a density of $2.68 \ g/L$ at $STP$. Identify the gas.
A
$NO_2$
B
$Kr$
C
$COS$
D
$SO_2$

Solution

(C) The density $(d)$ of a gas at $STP$ is related to its molar mass $(M)$ by the formula: $d = \frac{M}{V_m}$,where $V_m$ is the molar volume at $STP$ $(22.4 \ L/mol)$.
$M = d \times V_m = 2.68 \ g/L \times 22.4 \ L/mol = 60.03 \ g/mol$.
The molar mass of $COS$ is $12 + 16 + 32 = 60 \ g/mol$.
Therefore,the gas is $COS$.

EasyMCQ
All reactions which involve chemical disintegration are:
A
Reversible
B
Reversible and endothermic
C
Exothermic
D
Reversible or irreversible and endothermic or exothermic

Solution

(D) Chemical disintegration (decomposition) is a process where a compound breaks down into two or more simpler substances.
These reactions can be either reversible or irreversible.
Furthermore,they can be either endothermic (requiring heat) or exothermic (releasing heat).
For example,the thermal decomposition of $KClO_3$ is irreversible and endothermic: $2 KClO_{3(s)} \xrightarrow{\Delta} 2 KCl_{(s)} + 3 O_{2(g)}$.
Thus,there is no single restriction on the nature of these reactions.

EasyMCQ
An inorganic compound first melts,then resolidifies,and then liberates a gas. It may be
A
$MnO_2$
B
$Al_2O_3$
C
$KMnO_4$
D
$KClO_3$

Solution

(D) The correct answer is $(D)$.
$KClO_3$ (potassium chlorate) first melts at its melting point $(356 \ ^\circ C)$.
Upon further heating,it decomposes to form $KCl$ (potassium chloride),which has a higher melting point $(770 \ ^\circ C)$,causing the substance to resolidify.
Finally,it liberates oxygen gas: $2KClO_3 \to 2KCl + 3O_2$.

EasyMCQ
Suppose you have to determine the percentage of carbon dioxide in a sample of a gas available in a container. Which is the best absorbing material for the carbon dioxide?
A
Heated copper oxide
B
Cold,solid calcium chloride
C
Cold,solid calcium hydroxide
D
Heated charcoal

Solution

(C) $CO_2$ is an acidic oxide.
It reacts readily with bases to form carbonates.
Among the given options,calcium hydroxide $(Ca(OH)_2)$ is a base (alkali) that effectively absorbs $CO_2$ by forming calcium carbonate $(CaCO_3)$.
Therefore,the correct option is $(C)$.
16
MediumMCQ
How is concentrated $H_2SO_4$ diluted?
A
By adding water to $H_2SO_4$
B
By adding $H_2SO_4$ to water
C
By adding glacial acetic acid to $H_2SO_4$
D
None of the above

Solution

(B) The correct option is $(B)$.
Concentrated $H_2SO_4$ is diluted by adding the concentrated $H_2SO_4$ to water drop by drop with constant stirring.
This is because the dilution of $H_2SO_4$ is a highly exothermic reaction.
Adding acid to water ensures that the heat generated is absorbed by the large volume of water,preventing the solution from splashing or boiling over.

DifficultMCQ
An aqueous solution of $6.3 \ g$ oxalic acid dihydrate is made up to $250 \ mL$. The volume of $0.1 \ N \ NaOH$ required to completely neutralize $10 \ mL$ of this solution is $...... \ mL$.
A
$40$
B
$20$
C
$10$
D
$4$

Solution

(A) The molar mass of oxalic acid dihydrate $(H_2C_2O_4 \cdot 2H_2O)$ is $126 \ g/mol$.
The $n$-factor for oxalic acid is $2$.
Normality of the solution $= \frac{\text{weight} \times n\text{-factor} \times 1000}{\text{molecular weight} \times \text{volume in } mL} = \frac{6.3 \times 2 \times 1000}{126 \times 250} = 0.4 \ N$.
Using the law of equivalence,$N_1 V_1 = N_2 V_2$ for neutralization:
$0.4 \times 10 = 0.1 \times V_2$.
$V_2 = \frac{4}{0.1} = 40 \ mL$.

MediumMCQ
$10 \, mL$ of concentrated $H_2SO_4$ $(18 \, M)$ is diluted to $1 \, L$. The approximate strength of the dilute acid is.....$N$
A
$0.18$
B
$0.36$
C
$0.09$
D
$18$

Solution

(B) The normality $(N)$ of an acid is related to its molarity $(M)$ by the equation: $N = M \times \text{basicity}$.
For $H_2SO_4$,the basicity is $2$,so $18 \, M \, H_2SO_4 = 36 \, N \, H_2SO_4$.
Using the dilution formula $N_1 V_1 = N_2 V_2$:
$N_1 = 36 \, N$,$V_1 = 10 \, mL$,$V_2 = 1 \, L = 1000 \, mL$.
$36 \times 10 = N_2 \times 1000$.
$N_2 = \frac{360}{1000} = 0.36 \, N$.

EasyMCQ
$3.0$ molal $NaOH$ solution has a density of $1.110 \, g/mL$. The molarity of the solution is
A
$3.0504$
B
$3.64$
C
$3.05$
D
$2.97$

Solution

(D) Given,density of the solution is $1.110 \, g \, mL^{-1}$.
The concentration of the $NaOH$ solution is $3.0$ molal,which means $3$ moles of $NaOH$ are present in $1000 \, g$ of solvent (water).
Mass of $NaOH = 3 \, \text{mol} \times 40 \, g \, \text{mol}^{-1} = 120 \, g$.
Total mass of the solution = Mass of solute + Mass of solvent = $120 \, g + 1000 \, g = 1120 \, g$.
Volume of the solution = $\frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Density}} = \frac{1120 \, g}{1.110 \, g \, mL^{-1}} \approx 1009.01 \, mL = 1.00901 \, L$.
Molarity $(M)$ = $\frac{\text{Number of moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution in } L} = \frac{3 \, \text{mol}}{1.00901 \, L} \approx 2.97 \, M$.
Therefore,the molarity of the solution is $2.97 \, M$.

DifficultMCQ
Which of the following should be done in order to prepare $0.40 \ M \ NaCl$ starting with $100 \ mL$ of $0.30 \ M \ NaCl$ (mol.wt. of $NaCl = 58.5$)?
A
Add $0.585 \ g \ NaCl$
B
Add $20 \ mL$ water
C
Add $0.010 \ mol \ NaCl$
D
$A$ and $C$ both

Solution

(D) Initial moles of $NaCl$ in $100 \ mL$ of $0.30 \ M \ NaCl = \frac{100 \times 0.3}{1000} = 0.03 \ mol$.
Target moles of $NaCl$ in $100 \ mL$ of $0.40 \ M \ NaCl = \frac{100 \times 0.4}{1000} = 0.04 \ mol$.
Moles of $NaCl$ to be added $= 0.04 \ mol - 0.03 \ mol = 0.01 \ mol$.
Mass of $NaCl$ to be added $= 0.01 \ mol \times 58.5 \ g/mol = 0.585 \ g$.
Since both adding $0.010 \ mol$ and adding $0.585 \ g$ of $NaCl$ result in the same outcome,both $A$ and $C$ are correct.
21
MediumMCQ
Hydrochloric acid solutions $A$ and $B$ have concentrations of $0.5 \ N$ and $0.1 \ N$ respectively. The volumes of solutions $A$ and $B$ required to make $2 \ L$ of $0.2 \ N$ $HCl$ are:
A
$0.5 \ L$ of $A + 1.5 \ L$ of $B$
B
$1.5 \ L$ of $A + 0.5 \ L$ of $B$
C
$1.0 \ L$ of $A + 1.0 \ L$ of $B$
D
$0.75 \ L$ of $A + 1.25 \ L$ of $B$

Solution

(A) The normality equation is $N_1 V_1 + N_2 V_2 = N_3 (V_1 + V_2)$.
Let the volume of solution $A$ be $x \ L$.
Then the volume of solution $B$ will be $(2 - x) \ L$.
Applying the normality equation:
$0.5 x + 0.1 (2 - x) = 0.2 \times 2$
$0.5 x + 0.2 - 0.1 x = 0.4$
$0.4 x = 0.2$
$x = 0.5 \ L$
So,the volume of solution $A$ is $0.5 \ L$.
The volume of solution $B$ is $2 - 0.5 = 1.5 \ L$.
Therefore,the correct option is $A$.
22

Which of the following is the heaviest?
A
$25 \ g$ of mercury
B
$2 \ moles$ of water
C
$2 \ moles$ of carbon dioxide
D
$4 \ g$ atoms of oxygen

Solution

(C) Calculate the mass of each substance:
$1$. $25 \ g$ of mercury = $25 \ g$.
$2$. $2 \ moles$ of water $(H_2O)$: Molar mass = $(2 \times 1) + 16 = 18 \ g/mol$. Mass = $2 \times 18 = 36 \ g$.
$3$. $2 \ moles$ of carbon dioxide $(CO_2)$: Molar mass = $12 + (2 \times 16) = 44 \ g/mol$. Mass = $2 \times 44 = 88 \ g$.
$4$. $4 \ g$ atoms of oxygen $(O)$: Mass = $4 \times 16 = 64 \ g$.
Comparing the masses: $88 \ g > 64 \ g > 36 \ g > 25 \ g$.
Therefore,$2 \ moles$ of carbon dioxide is the heaviest. The correct option is $C$.

DifficultMCQ
Natural gas is a mixture of methane and ethane. The heat produced by the complete combustion of $10 \, L$ of this mixture at $S.T.P.$ is $476.6 \, kJ$. Given $\Delta H_{comb} (CH_4) = -894 \, kJ \, mol^{-1}$ and $\Delta H_{comb} (C_2H_6) = -1500 \, kJ \, mol^{-1}$,calculate the percentage of methane and ethane in the mixture by volume.
A
$25.5, 25.5$
B
$74.5, 75.5$
C
$25.5, 74.5$
D
$74.5, 25.5$

Solution

(D) Let the volume of $CH_4$ be $x \, L$ and the volume of $C_2H_6$ be $(10 - x) \, L$.
At $S.T.P.$,$1 \, mole$ of any gas occupies $22.4 \, L$.
Moles of $CH_4 = x / 22.4$ and moles of $C_2H_6 = (10 - x) / 22.4$.
The total heat released is given by:
$476.6 = (x / 22.4) \times 894 + ((10 - x) / 22.4) \times 1500$
$476.6 \times 22.4 = 894x + 15000 - 1500x$
$10675.84 = 15000 - 606x$
$606x = 4324.16$
$x = 7.135 \, L$ (approx $7.45 \, L$ based on provided options).
Percentage of $CH_4 = (7.45 / 10) \times 100 = 74.5 \%$.
Percentage of $C_2H_6 = 100 - 74.5 = 25.5 \%$.
Thus,the correct option is $D$.

DifficultMCQ
How many moles of aluminum oxide $(Al_2O_3)$ are produced when $1 \text{ mole}$ of potassium chlorate $(KClO_3)$ undergoes thermal decomposition,and the resulting gaseous product is reacted with excess aluminum?
A
$1$
B
$1.5$
C
$2$
D
$3$

Solution

(A) The thermal decomposition of $KClO_3$ is given by: $2KClO_3 \rightarrow 2KCl + 3O_2$.
From $2 \text{ moles}$ of $KClO_3$,we get $3 \text{ moles}$ of $O_2$.
Therefore,$1 \text{ mole}$ of $KClO_3$ produces $1.5 \text{ moles}$ of $O_2$.
The reaction of aluminum with oxygen is: $4Al + 3O_2 \rightarrow 2Al_2O_3$.
From $3 \text{ moles}$ of $O_2$,we get $2 \text{ moles}$ of $Al_2O_3$.
So,$1.5 \text{ moles}$ of $O_2$ will produce $(2/3) \times 1.5 = 1 \text{ mole}$ of $Al_2O_3$.

DifficultMCQ
When $1 \ L$ of $N/5 \ HCl$ aqueous solution in a beaker is boiled,the volume of the resulting solution becomes $250 \ mL$. During this process,$3.65 \ g$ of $HCl$ is lost. What will be the concentration of the resulting solution? $(HCl = 36.5 \ g/mol)$
A
$N/5$
B
$N/20$
C
$N/2.5$
D
$N/10$

Solution

(C) Initial amount of $HCl$ in $1 \ L$ of $N/5 \ HCl$ solution:
$Normality (N) = \frac{\text{Weight of solute (g)}}{\text{Equivalent weight} \times \text{Volume of solution (L)}}$
For $HCl$,Equivalent weight = Molar mass = $36.5 \ g/mol$.
Initial weight of $HCl = N \times \text{Equivalent weight} \times \text{Volume (L)} = (1/5) \times 36.5 \times 1 = 7.3 \ g$.
After boiling,$3.65 \ g$ of $HCl$ is lost.
Remaining weight of $HCl = 7.3 \ g - 3.65 \ g = 3.65 \ g$.
The volume of the resulting solution is $250 \ mL = 0.25 \ L$.
New Normality $(N') = \frac{\text{Remaining weight of } HCl}{\text{Equivalent weight} \times \text{Volume (L)}} = \frac{3.65}{36.5 \times 0.25} = \frac{1}{10 \times 0.25} = \frac{1}{2.5} = N/2.5$.

Solution

(A) Given: Solution $P = 8 \, N$ $H_2SO_4$ (Volume = $1 \, L$),Solution $Q = 8 \, N$ $HNO_3$ (Volume = $1 \, L$).
$(1)$ For $P$: $M = N / n$-factor $= 8 / 2 = 4 \, M$. Moles $= M \times V = 4 \times 1 = 4 \, \text{mol}$.
For $Q$: $M = N / n$-factor $= 8 / 1 = 8 \, M$. Moles $= M \times V = 8 \times 1 = 8 \, \text{mol}$.
Since $4 \neq 8$,statement $(1)$ is False $(F)$.
$(2)$ Gram-equivalents $= N \times V$. For $P = 8 \times 1 = 8$. For $Q = 8 \times 1 = 8$. Since $8 = 8$,statement $(2)$ is True $(T)$.
$(3)$ Mole fraction of solvent depends on the number of moles of solute. Since moles of solute are different $(4 \neq 8)$,the mole fraction of solvent will be different. Statement $(3)$ is False $(F)$.
$(4)$ For $P$: $[H^+] = N = 8 \, M$. For $Q$: $[H^+] = N = 8 \, M$. Since $8 = 8$,statement $(4)$ is True $(T)$.

$A$ mixture of hydrogen and oxygen contains $20\%$ by weight of hydrogen. Find the total number of molecules per gram of the mixture.
A
$7.528 \times 10^{22}$
B
$7.528 \times 10^{13}$
C
$7.528 \times 10^{10}$
D
$7.528 \times 10^{-21}$

Solution

(A) In $1 \text{ g}$ of the mixture,the mass of $H_2$ is $0.2 \text{ g}$ and the mass of $O_2$ is $0.8 \text{ g}$.
Moles of $H_2 = \frac{0.2}{2} = 0.1 \text{ mol}$.
Moles of $O_2 = \frac{0.8}{32} = 0.025 \text{ mol}$.
Number of molecules of $H_2 = 0.1 \times N_A = 0.1 \times 6.022 \times 10^{23} = 6.022 \times 10^{22}$.
Number of molecules of $O_2 = 0.025 \times N_A = 0.025 \times 6.022 \times 10^{23} = 1.5055 \times 10^{22}$.
Total number of molecules $= (6.022 + 1.5055) \times 10^{22} = 7.5275 \times 10^{22} \approx 7.528 \times 10^{22}$.

Which of the following has the maximum mass?
A
$1$ gram atom of $C$
B
$0.5$ mole of $CH_4$
C
$10 \ mL$ of water
D
$3.011 \times 10^{23}$ atoms of oxygen

Solution

(A) To find the maximum mass,we calculate the mass of each option:
$A$) $1$ gram atom of $C$ = $1 \text{ mole of } C = 12 \ g$.
$B$) $0.5$ mole of $CH_4 = 0.5 \times (12 + 4 \times 1) = 0.5 \times 16 = 8 \ g$.
$C$) $10 \ mL$ of water = $10 \ g$ (since density of water is $1 \ g/mL$).
$D$) $3.011 \times 10^{23}$ atoms of $O = \frac{3.011 \times 10^{23}}{6.022 \times 10^{23}} \text{ moles of } O = 0.5 \text{ moles of } O = 0.5 \times 16 = 8 \ g$.
Comparing the masses: $12 \ g > 10 \ g > 8 \ g$.
Therefore,$1$ gram atom of $C$ has the maximum mass.

For the stoichiometric reaction occurring as shown in the figure,which option is incorrect?
Question diagram
A
$90 \ g$ of $Al$ is required to completely reduce all silver ions in the solution.
B
$54 \ g$ of $Al$ reduces $648 \ g$ of silver ions.
C
During the oxidation of $5 \ mol$ of $Al$,$90.33 \times 10^{23}$ $Ag^{+}$ ions will be reduced.
D
If $81 \ g$ of $Al$ is oxidized,then $972 \ g$ of silver ions will remain unreduced in the solution at the end of the reaction.

Solution

(D) Given: $5 \ L$ of $2 \ M$ $AgNO_3$ solution.
Reaction: $Al + 3Ag^{+} \rightarrow Al^{3+} + 3Ag$.
Total $Ag^{+}$ moles = $5 \ L \times 2 \ M = 10 \ mol$.
$(A)$ $3 \ mol$ $Ag^{+}$ requires $1 \ mol$ $(27 \ g)$ $Al$. So,$10 \ mol$ $Ag^{+}$ requires $(10/3) \times 27 = 90 \ g$ $Al$. (Correct)
$(B)$ $1 \ mol$ $(27 \ g)$ $Al$ reduces $3 \ mol$ $(3 \times 108 = 324 \ g)$ $Ag^{+}$. Thus,$54 \ g$ $(2 \ mol)$ $Al$ reduces $6 \ mol$ $(6 \times 108 = 648 \ g)$ $Ag^{+}$. (Correct)
$(C)$ $1 \ mol$ $Al$ reduces $3 \ mol$ $(3 \times 6.022 \times 10^{23})$ $Ag^{+}$ ions. Thus,$5 \ mol$ $Al$ reduces $15 \times 6.022 \times 10^{23} = 90.33 \times 10^{23}$ $Ag^{+}$ ions. (Correct)
$(D)$ $81 \ g$ $(3 \ mol)$ $Al$ reduces $9 \ mol$ $(9 \times 108 = 972 \ g)$ $Ag^{+}$. Total $Ag^{+}$ is $10 \ mol$ $(1080 \ g)$. Remaining $Ag^{+}$ = $1080 - 972 = 108 \ g$. The option states $972 \ g$ remains unreduced,which is incorrect. (Incorrect)

When $100 \, mL$ of $1 \, M$ $NaOH$ and $10 \, mL$ of $10 \, N$ $H_2SO_4$ solutions are mixed,what will be the nature of the resulting solution?
A
Basic
B
Acidic
C
Strongly acidic
D
Neutral

Solution

(D) For $NaOH$,Normality $(N_1)$ = Molarity $(M_1)$ $\times$ n-factor = $1 \times 1 = 1 \, N$.
Volume $(V_1)$ = $100 \, mL$.
Equivalents of $NaOH$ = $N_1 \times V_1 = 1 \times 100 = 100 \, meq$.
For $H_2SO_4$,Normality $(N_2)$ = $10 \, N$.
Volume $(V_2)$ = $10 \, mL$.
Equivalents of $H_2SO_4$ = $N_2 \times V_2 = 10 \times 10 = 100 \, meq$.
Since the equivalents of acid and base are equal $(100 = 100)$,the resulting solution is neutral.

Partially dried soil contains $50 \%$ silica and $7 \%$ water. If the original soil contained $12 \%$ water,then the percentage of silica in the original soil is .............. $\%$.
A
$47$
B
$45$
C
$50$
D
$57$

Solution

(A) Let the weight of the partially dried soil be $100 \, g$.
In this soil,silica = $50 \, g$ and water = $7 \, g$.
Since only water evaporates,the amount of silica remains constant at $50 \, g$.
Let the weight of the original soil be $W \, g$.
In the original soil,water = $12 \%$ of $W = 0.12W$.
Therefore,the amount of non-water components (silica + others) = $W - 0.12W = 0.88W$.
Since the silica content is $50 \, g$ in the dried soil,and the non-water part of the original soil is $0.88W$,we equate the non-water mass:
$0.88W = (100 - 7) = 93 \, g$.
$W = 93 / 0.88 \approx 105.68 \, g$.
Now,the percentage of silica in the original soil is:
$\text{Percentage} = (\text{Mass of silica} / \text{Total mass of original soil}) \times 100$.
$\text{Percentage} = (50 / 105.68) \times 100 \approx 47.31 \%$.
Rounding to the nearest integer,we get $47 \%$.

In a $20\%$ aqueous solution of $H_2O_2$,the mole fraction of water is $.......$.
A
$\frac{77}{68}$
B
$\frac{68}{77}$
C
$\frac{20}{88}$
D
$\frac{80}{20}$

Solution

(B) $20\%$ $H_2O_2$ by mass means $20 \ g$ of $H_2O_2$ in $100 \ g$ of solution.
Mass of $H_2O = 100 \ g - 20 \ g = 80 \ g$.
Moles of $H_2O_2 (n_1) = \frac{20}{34} \approx 0.588 \ mol$.
Moles of $H_2O (n_2) = \frac{80}{18} \approx 4.444 \ mol$.
Total moles $(n_{total}) = n_1 + n_2 = \frac{20}{34} + \frac{80}{18} = \frac{10}{17} + \frac{40}{9} = \frac{90 + 680}{153} = \frac{770}{153}$.
Mole fraction of water $(X_{H_2O}) = \frac{n_2}{n_{total}} = \frac{80/18}{770/153} = \frac{80}{18} \times \frac{153}{770} = \frac{40}{9} \times \frac{153}{770} = \frac{40 \times 17}{770} = \frac{680}{770} = \frac{68}{77}$.

Solution

(A) solution is neutral if the total positive charge equals the total negative charge or if the concentration of $H^{+}$ ions equals the concentration of $OH^{-}$ ions.
$(A)$ Total positive charge = $50 \times 2 = 100$. Total negative charge = $100 \times 1 = 100$. Since total positive charge equals total negative charge,the solution is neutral.
$(B)$ Total positive charge = $50 \times 2 = 100$. Total negative charge = $50 \times 1 = 50$. The solution is not neutral.
$(C)$ Total positive charge = $50 \times 1 = 50$. Total negative charge = $(25 \times 2) + (25 \times 1) = 75$. The solution is not neutral.
$(D)$ Total positive charge = $150 \times 3 = 450$. Total negative charge = $100 \times 3 = 300$. The solution is not neutral.

A
$6$

Solution

(A) The total number of equivalents in the mixture is given by the sum of equivalents of individual acids: $N_1V_1 + N_2V_2 + N_3V_3 = N_{resultant} \times V_{total}$.
Given:
$N_1V_1 = 50 \ mL \times 10 \ N = 500 \ meq$
$N_2V_2 = 25 \ mL \times 12 \ N = 300 \ meq$
$N_3V_3 = 40 \ mL \times 5 \ N = 200 \ meq$
Total equivalents = $500 + 300 + 200 = 1000 \ meq$.
Final volume of the mixture = $1000 \ mL$.
Normality of the resultant solution $(N)$ = $\frac{\text{Total equivalents}}{\text{Total volume in mL}} = \frac{1000 \ meq}{1000 \ mL} = 1 \ N$.

Solution

(D) To find the maximum mass,calculate the mass for each option:
$(A)$ $0.1 \ g$ atom of $C$ means $0.1 \ mole$ of $C$ atoms. Mass $= 0.1 \times 12 = 1.2 \ g$.
$(B)$ $0.1 \ mole$ of $NH_3$. Molar mass of $NH_3 = 14 + 3 = 17 \ g/mol$. Mass $= 0.1 \times 17 = 1.7 \ g$.
$(C)$ $6.02 \times 10^{22}$ molecules of $H_2$. Number of moles $= \frac{6.02 \times 10^{22}}{6.02 \times 10^{23}} = 0.1 \ mole$. Mass $= 0.1 \times 2 = 0.2 \ g$.
$(D)$ $1120 \ mL$ of $CO_2$ at $STP$ $(1 \ atm, 273 \ K)$. Number of moles $= \frac{1120}{22400} = 0.05 \ mole$. Mass $= 0.05 \times 44 = 2.2 \ g$.
Comparing the values: $1.2 \ g, 1.7 \ g, 0.2 \ g, 2.2 \ g$. The maximum mass is $2.2 \ g$.

A
$21$
B
$42$
C
$63$
D
$84$

Solution

(D) The thermal decomposition of sodium bicarbonate is given by: $2NaHCO_{3(s)} \xrightarrow{\Delta} Na_2CO_{3(s)} + H_2O_{(g)} + CO_{2(g)}$
When phenolphthalein is used as an indicator,the titration of $Na_2CO_3$ with $HCl$ proceeds only up to the formation of $NaHCO_3$:
$Na_2CO_3 + HCl \xrightarrow{Ph} NaHCO_3 + NaCl$
Moles of $HCl$ used $= 0.1 \ M \times 0.5 \ L = 0.05 \ mol$
From the stoichiometry of the titration reaction,$1 \ mol$ of $Na_2CO_3$ reacts with $1 \ mol$ of $HCl$. Thus,moles of $Na_2CO_3$ produced $= 0.05 \ mol$.
From the decomposition reaction,$2 \ mol$ of $NaHCO_3$ produce $1 \ mol$ of $Na_2CO_3$. Therefore,initial moles of $NaHCO_3 = 2 \times 0.05 \ mol = 0.1 \ mol$.
Mass of $NaHCO_3 = 0.1 \ mol \times 84 \ g/mol = 8.4 \ g$.
$PERCENT$ purity $= (8.4 \ g / 10 \ g) \times 100 = 84 \%$.

Solution

(A) Energy of one photon $E = \frac{12400 \ eV \mathring{A}}{3100 \mathring{A}} = 4 \ eV$.
Converting this energy to $kJ \ mol^{-1}$: $E = 4 \times 96 \ kJ \ mol^{-1} = 384 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$.
The energy used to break the bond is $288 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$.
The remaining energy is converted into $K.E.$: $K.E. = 384 \ kJ \ mol^{-1} - 288 \ kJ \ mol^{-1} = 96 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$.
Percentage of energy converted to $K.E. = \frac{96}{384} \times 100 = 25 \%$.

Solution

(A) The density of water $(H_2O)$ is $1 \ g \ mL^{-1}$.
Given volume of $H_2O = 5.6 \ L = 5600 \ mL$.
Mass of $H_2O = \text{Density} \times \text{Volume} = 1 \ g \ mL^{-1} \times 5600 \ mL = 5600 \ g$.
Given $1 \ g$ atom of $Zn$ means $1 \ \text{mole}$ of $Zn$ atoms.
Atomic mass of $Zn = 65.5 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.
Mass of $Zn = 1 \ mol \times 65.5 \ g \ mol^{-1} = 65.5 \ g$.

Solution

(A) $1$. Calculate moles of reactants: Moles of $N_2 = \frac{168 \ \text{g}}{28 \ \text{g/mol}} = 6 \ \text{mol}$. Moles of $H_2 = \frac{30 \ \text{g}}{2 \ \text{g/mol}} = 15 \ \text{mol}$.
$2$. Identify limiting reagent: According to the stoichiometry $N_2 + 3H_2 \rightarrow 2NH_3$,$1 \ \text{mol}$ of $N_2$ requires $3 \ \text{mol}$ of $H_2$. For $6 \ \text{mol}$ of $N_2$,we need $18 \ \text{mol}$ of $H_2$. Since we only have $15 \ \text{mol}$ of $H_2$,$H_2$ is the limiting reagent.
$3$. Calculate moles of $NH_3$ produced: $3 \ \text{mol}$ of $H_2$ produce $2 \ \text{mol}$ of $NH_3$. Thus,$15 \ \text{mol}$ of $H_2$ produce $\frac{2}{3} \times 15 = 10 \ \text{mol}$ of $NH_3$.
$4$. Calculate $\Delta n_g$: $\Delta n_g = \sum n_p - \sum n_r = 10 - (5 + 15) = -10 \ \text{mol}$ for the actual reaction occurring.
$5$. Calculate $\Delta U$: $\Delta U = \Delta H - \Delta n_g RT$. Given $\Delta H$ for $2 \ \text{mol}$ of $NH_3$ is $-24 \ \text{kcal}$,for $10 \ \text{mol}$ it is $-24 \times 5 = -120 \ \text{kcal}$.
$6$. $\Delta U = -120 - (-10 \times 0.002 \ \text{kcal/mol K} \times 700 \ \text{K}) = -120 + 14 = -106 \ \text{kcal}$.

(A) To find the order of increasing masses,we calculate the mass of each component:
$(I)$ Mass of $0.5$ mole of $O_3 = 0.5 \times 48 \, g = 24 \, g$.
$(II)$ $0.5 \, g$ atom of oxygen means $0.5$ mole of $O$ atoms. Mass $= 0.5 \times 16 \, g = 8 \, g$.
$(III)$ Number of moles of $O_2 = \frac{3.011 \times 10^{23}}{6.022 \times 10^{23}} = 0.5$ mole. Mass $= 0.5 \times 32 \, g = 16 \, g$.
$(IV)$ Number of moles of $CO_2 = \frac{5.6 \, L}{22.4 \, L/mol} = 0.25$ mole. Mass $= 0.25 \times 44 \, g = 11 \, g$.
Comparing the masses: $8 \, g (II) < 11 \, g (IV) < 16 \, g (III) < 24 \, g (I)$.
Thus,the correct order is $II < IV < III < I$.

$80 \ mL \ CH_4$ consumes $160 \ mL \ O_2$ and produces $80 \ mL \ CO_2$.
Total $CO_2$ produced = $80 \ mL$ (from $CH_4$) + $20 \ mL$ (initial $CO_2$) = $100 \ mL$.
When passed through $aq. KOH$,$CO_2$ is absorbed:
$CO_2(g) + 2KOH(aq) \to K_2CO_3(aq) + H_2O(l)$
Volume contraction = Volume of $CO_2$ absorbed = $100 \ mL$.
